I
was
at
this
park
about
a
week
ago.
I
had
not
read
the
reviews
on
google
carefully
(A
mistake
from
my
side
and
just
want
everyone
reading
this
review
to
be
aware).
I
was
using
a
taxi
to
do
sight
seeing
in
Santa
Cruz
and
surrounding
areas.
The
driver
mentioned
that
he
has
been
to
this
park
about
10
or
12
years
ago.
So,
I
took
it
for
granted
that
he
knew
the
area.
From
the
main
entrance
it
is
about
3
Km
walk
or
drive
(normal
cars
are
allowed
in
this
stretch
of
the
access
to
the
park.
However,
it
is
better
if
you
have
a
a
four
wheel
drive).
The
sand
is
very
soft
but
we
did
not
have
any
issues
driving
this
3
Km
to
the
access
to
the
park.
This
access
is
manned
and
only
four
wheel
drive
vehicles
are
allowed
beyond
this
point.
The
entrance
fee
per
person
is
20
Bolivian
currency,
which
is
roughly
3
US$.
The
name
and
details
of
persons
entering
is
registered
in
the
entrance
log
(however,
when
we
returned,
there
was
no
one
at
this
gate
and
our
exit
was
not
recorded.
Not
sure
what
happens
if
you
get
lost
or
have
an
issue
while
walking
to
the
sand
dunes).
I
had
asked
my
taxi
driver
about
how
much
is
the
distance
to
the
sand
dunes
and
he
said
it
is
about
2
Km.
It
actually
was
4
Km
and
it
took
us
one
hour
to
walk
to
the
foothills
of
the
big
sand
dune.
Did
not
have
the
energy
to
climb
up
this
sand
dune.
We
had
made
the
mistake
of
not
carrying
water
and
snacks.
I
was
tired
but
we
did
not
rest,
we
walked
back
to
the
gated
entrance,
which
also
took
us
about
one
hour.
Pls
be
aware
that
there
are
no
shops
/
stores
within
(There
are
cabanas
and
accommodation
for
tourists
in
the
area)
this
area
to
buy
water
or
food.
Pls
pack
water
and
snacks
before
to
start
this
4
Km
walk.
If
it
is
a
sunny
day,
then
pls
also
do
what
you
have
to
do
to
protect
yourself
from
the
sun.
The
sand
is
very
soft
and
your
shoes
(foot)
does
dig
a
bit
into
the
sand
as
you
walk
this
4
Km.
